Domestic violence, broadly defined, is violence within a home. Beyond this, the term has a range of definitions, some more and some less formal, that are frequently used with little awareness that a range of definitions exists. Domestic violence can be both physical and/or psychological.

Whatever its form, domestic violence often dis-empowers, subjugates and violates its victims.

Many offenses may fall under the general category of domestic violence, including:

If arrested for a domestic violence infraction, you could initially be subject to restraining orders, protective orders, and no-contact provisions as a condition of pre-trial release. In many states, law enforcement has adopted a zero tolerance policy. In other words, if there is a call involving domestic violence, someone is going to jail.

The court system has has also become a more proactive force in the fight against domestic violence, implementing often times denying bond or imposing no contact conditions of release, which typically separates families for the months while resolving domestic violence cases. Prosecuting attorneys have taken an active role in strictly enforcing both new and existing domestic violence laws.

With regard to domestic violence charges, it is extremely important to speak with a qualified domestic violence attorney who will inform you of all your options and help protect your rights and those of your family by moving to set aside no contact provisions and forcing the State to honor the victim’s wishes.
